VINCENT N. FIGLIOLA, award-winning Creative Director, over 25 years, moved from Manhattan to New Mexico to express his purely creative leanings in a new landscape. In his own words, he came to New Mexico…"to see if he could become a serious painter,to paint the human epic in classical terms.” Preferred mediums include oil, egg tempera, mixed media, original graphite drawings, and limited edition stone lithography. Art critics refer to Vincent as “the artist who paints the Renaissance, and makes it now.”

In the 1980’s prior to an interview with the BBC, Leo Castelli, the international art critic and founder of movements in modern art, predicted that Vincent would be one of the important realistic painters of this century. Apparently, he has.

Now 87, Vincent is recognized as a Living Master in Contemporary Realism.
